Tunisia's Economic growth rate reached 2.6 percent in the third quarter of this year, almost the same as the growth rate for the whole year, according to statistics released by international financial institutions such as World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
The Tunisian Authorities hope to exceed these expectations to reach a growth rate close to 3 percent for 2018 if the local economic situation and investment climate continue to strengthen and if a number of countries and financial institutions fulfill their promises to inject financial investments into the Tunisian Economy.
The Tunisian Central Bank expected a positive contribution growth from the Mining and Chemical Industries (phosphate and its derivatives), but the performance of agriculture in various activities, energy and laboratory industries did not witness a growth rate that helped it achieve better results in the third quarter of the current year.
